Democrats are in the hot seat as a new report reveals organizations conveniently pulled ad money from Graham Platner\u2019s disastrous Senate bid.<\/p>\n

A Fox News report<\/a> revealed a coincidental shift in planned ad money just days before yet another sexual abuse allegation rocked Platner\u2019s campaign. It came at a time when, at least publicly, the party was still backing the controversial candidate despite a number of previous scandals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinSenate removed more than $6.2 million in Maine Senate ad reservations, including $5.9 million in broadcast reservations from July 7 through Aug. 31 and $330,000 in cable reservations that had been set to begin June 30, AdImpact, a leading ad-tracking and analytics firm that monitors political advertising, reported July 2. AdImpact also said a separate $240,000 in digital spending shifted from Majority Forward,\u201d the outlet noted.<\/p>\n

Majority Forward denied that recent \u201ccampaign turmoil\u201d had any part to play in the moving of ad funds, according to a statement to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

\u201cMajority Forward moved its (c)4 spending to another entity, a fairly common practice with issue advocacy campaigns. This change was not connected to recent campaign events,\u201d a spokeswoman explained.<\/p>\n

Both organizations are \u201cclosely tied to the Democratic Senate campaign apparatus,\u201d Fox reported, adding that both are \u201caffiliated with Senate Majority PAC, a wealthy political committee run by allies of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The timing of the money pull has stirred up a lot of buzz on X:<\/p>\n

Whether you liked Platner or not\u2014to not see what is happening requires you to do a lot of mental gymnastics and wear blindfold. https:\/\/t.co\/rV6rVl5pGp<\/a><\/p>\n

I keep saying they knew about this shit and im sure there were more. Dems love dirt on everyone. Like they didn\u2019t know about Swalwell. Dem voters either dont care, are stupid, or some combo. https:\/\/t.co\/6myGWyLd9W<\/a><\/p>\n

This was whispered for at least a month. Zero chance it took Schumer et al by surprise. The cynic in me says they coordinated the release when they did so it wouldn\u2019t hit in September\/October when they would be saddled with him https:\/\/t.co\/Wizsqo3GV9<\/a><\/p>\n

I think that most of us that pay attention knew that D\u2019s were going to force him out months ago.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t know what the story would be, but I knew it was coming.<\/p>\n
